Yufuin Country Road Youth Hostel

The service they provide is up and beyond. I love how this whole place is set up in such a way for people to mingle. I wish I could have stayed longer and chat with the people. Unfortunately I think it was off peak season so there weren't many people. The owner is generous and friendly, people that stays there are good natured people. The owners sang country road to everyone that leaves in the morning, very heart warming and eye teary especially when I met a wonderful old couple from kagoshima during the wonderfully made breakfast. The common area, which is the dining area, has a scenic view of outside, and the main city that lights up a little at night and beautifully decorated interior. It feels like home. I also enjoyed the indoor onsen too. My favourite bit was the classical music playing in the background, and how accessible it is, like a backyard. If you stay here, return the deed by being good guests.

The hostel is a bit difficult to access by foot if you are coming by public transport. The host brought us out for walks after dinner, with stunning night views of the city. Order breakfast and dinner as their food was delicious. The common space/lounge is perfect to chill, make new friends and read.

It sounds like you had an amazing experience at that hostel! Here's a slightly polished version of your review:If you're looking for a budget-friendly hostel with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, this is the place to be. The owner couple is incredibly friendly and makes you feel at home right away. I was greeted by a new roommate and the owner even took us on a night tour to Kinrin Lake and Floral Village, which was such a lovely surprise. The breakfast is absolutely delicious, and the couple’s romantic gesture of singing a beautiful thank-you song before you leave just adds a special touch. Their voices are stunning, and it truly makes you want to return

A bit difficult to access by foot, if you walk from the bus stop. But you have stunning views from the city at night. The lounge is perfect to chill and read. They have a HUGE collection of mangas.

Super chill and cozy hostel with very nice and helpful owners! Just a bit outside village so it can be hard to reach, in exchange it’s very tranquil and not as crowded as the village center.

I would really recommend the place. This is very nice place it is unbelievable, quiet, beautiful, friendly, welcoming like home away from home. You really can't count the value you have paid. It just take 5-10 away from Yufuin train station by taxi. When you check out there is a complimentary shuttle from the hostel.

This hostel is super cute and comfortable. Just under 5000¥, you can enjoy super beautiful night view of Yufuin. Moreover, natural hot spring is available 24 hours.

Love this place so much. Ryo-san and Tomomi-san are some of the most considerate, passionate and kind people you will get to meet. Their hard work and dedication make this hostel such a warm and calm place to stay at. And don’t get me started on the scenery! Amazing view of Yufuin village and the surrounding mountains! They offer the ride from the train station to the hostel as well, on top of friday night sport activities! Plus, their home made meals are soooo good, the presentation is also very cute. Definitely don’t miss out on this gem, made my stay in Japan one that I will never forget!!!
